This leading casebook makes Patent Law accessible to a wide audience of students and instructors. Patent Law and Policy provides numerous diagrams and figures, concise explanations of relevant legal principles, and to the extent possible, cases involving relatively simple technologies. This edition includes additional international materials, new statutory provisions, and a host of recent decisions. In the chapter entitled The Legal Process of the Patent System, the authors provide a systematic treatment of process rules - an area that has recently been the subject of ongoing and proposed reform. In addition to providing the most recent developments, the authors have also tried to put the current evolution of the law in historical context, thus expanding coverage of historically important cases in areas where the law is changing dramatically. Patent Law and Policy is supported by an author-hosted Web page with supplemental teaching tools, including a current supplement PowerPoint slides. The authors provide periodic email updates on important issues (e.g., "Top Ten Patent Cases") to professors who adopt this book.

Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
